skatecoupard May 10, 2006 11:28 AM

I got a pregnant leopard gecko last saterday at a rep. show and she still hasent eaten any thing, I was woundering if she isn't eating because she is about to lay her eggs. Because i herd that they may stop eating the week the lay there eggs but how are they suppost to get enouph calcium. Should i try to feed her pinkys???

just wait another week or two. put something in the cage for her to lay her eggs in. when you see her sart to dig and stuff you better be ready because she will probably lay within 24 hours. they do stop eating befor they lay, then after they lay they get really hungry! so let her eat all she wants, maybe even a pinky if she likes them. geckos go go for a really long time without eating, however it is not really healthy and something may be wrong, i mean months.
